Time to Hit Up the Bar

It's August and maybe you haven't had the opportunity to get away and work on your perfect summer tan. Or maybe you are just smart and are avoiding the sun's harmful rays. Whatever the reason for your pastiness here is a solution: The Brazil Bronze Glow Bar. Its located in Soho at 580 Broadway and it is a great place to get a faux tan without breaking the bank. Sally Blenkey-Tchassova is the technician at this location and she is a pro. The tan is $60 and lasts about a week. You won't see results right away so if you are getting the tan for an event then I'd suggest scheduling the appointment the day before. For those faux tan virgins out there, yes you have to take off all of your clothes... lol. Sally is wonderful at putting you at ease and she will make conversation while she sprays as if the two of you were chatting over Sunday's brunch. There are spa underwear provided if you are at all uneasy about being fully nude though. After Sally is finished with your tan you have to stand in front of a fan for 10 minutes to dry off. That night I remember Kamilah and Alicia already noticing my tan to develop and by the next day I had a natural glow. I would recommend this to anyone who wants natural looking color - this tan was not orange at all! I would have preferred more of a Eva Longoria-esque deep dark spray tan, but Sally explained that unless you are going to keep it up and go every week to maintain it, a dark tan will only end up looking splotchy and ugly once it starts to fade.
For those of you who aren't interested in the faux tan, Brazil Glow Bar offers other services that may appeal to you. They offer airbrush makeup, eyelash extensions, cellulite annihilator and seaweed body wraps that is said to take inches off of your waist line!
